Subject: Building from a local source code checkout
Date: Tue, 19 Dec 2017 12:34:46 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ddc9de1c-1076-7e61-f9c0-343a70883374@fastmail.net> (raw)
Hi everyone,
For debugging package definitions, it would be really nice to be able to
build a package from a checkout of the original project source code,
rather than having to make a tarball for each modification of that
source code. Is this possible somehow? The manual suggests that a
package source could be something else than an origin object, such as a
local-file, but I cannot get even local-file to work.
Konrad
